Hand on shoulder could have been anything, I agree. A hint, a teaser, an indication, just a gesture from a friend...
What I find really quite peculiar in The Legion is that there are no couples now, except Jo & Tinya. Well, Thom and Nura, but that's really going nowhere at this point. No romances. No crushes. I mean, teenagers - you'd think they'd be making and breaking up all sorts of relationships. Maybe the U.P. puts something in the water to dampen the hormones. It just doesn't make sense.

Lord knows I'd like to see a gay character or two in the Legion-- but I kind of think it's more likely that the Ferro/KKid bond has more to do with Ferro's need to replace his dead twin brother (remember him?). Ferro hasn't been shown missing him, or thinking about him that I recall. But I'll bet he's felt lessened since Ingot's death.
Also, I'd think that Andy feels major gratitude for Val's selfless sacrifice of the decade-that-turned-out-to-be-a-few-months. Could lead to something else, sure.
You know who would make a good match for a gay Ferro? Mekt Ranzz...
...or maybe MEKT would think so and form an 'not-quite Fatel Attraction' to Ferro after another inevitable Ayla rejection scene.

I agree -- can't a heterosexual guy show affection for another without being labelled gay in this society? (not that there's anything wrong with it) Oh yeah, the answer's no.

I agree that that's a dynamic missing from the team, but so is most interpersonal interactions at this point. DnA have preserved Triad's feelings for M'onel and Cham's connection to Ayla and there may be something brewing between Shikari and Wildfire, but it's definitely taken a backseat to universe-saving.

Another point on the "hand on shoulder" - Ferro must have a gentle touch, because if you slapped a few pounds of iron on my shoulder, I would, at the very least, wince - if not collapse.

DnA do seem to have completely jettisoned the "sweety-dear" matronly persona.

Actually, I always identified more with Bouncing Boy.

You kidding? I'm surprised she lasted as long as she did.

Because, lord knows, Kinetix hasn't changed form in an issue and a half.
Seriously, though, any predictions on what eventual form Ferro might take?
quote:Originally posted by Eryk Davis Ester: Perhaps the Halpashar priests could help Sensor become comfortable with her new appearance? I'd really like to see one of them become a Legionnaire...
I'm telling you.. harmonic powers, it practically screams Tyroc.
"screams Tyroc." hee. I crack myself up.

We'll he considered Tri-Jitsu a challenge, but he mopped up Lu pretty quick. Which is as it should be.
quote:Originally posted by Eryk Davis Ester: Mistake: Ferro should not have recognized Wildfire. Last time he saw him he was called ERG-1 and wearing a much dorkier looking suit.
He may have recognized Wildfire from the basic components of his costume. Ferro is a fashion designer, recall.

huh? What make you think that, just because he is now sporting an iron member, that Ferro is shooting blanks?
quote:Originally posted by Blockade Boy: Vi as a giant: just old
We all assume that Vi can both grow and shrink. But does anyone recall, since Vi inherited Gim's powers, have we seen her shrink? Do we know she can still do it?

Imra will probably just wrest control of some of the Legionnaires thanks to some serendipitous distraction of Uni.
What I question however, is why Sensor was not more effective this issue? If Uni was making the Legionnairs think they were fighting dog soldiers, couldn't Sensor have jusst given them another vision, say that they were judging the Westminster dog show?
